The funeral of Bipin Joshi from Kanchanpur, who died during the Israel–Hamas war, will be held today with national honors. His final rites are scheduled this morning at Bhujela Ghat on the banks of the Mahakali River.
According to DSP Sagar Bohara, spokesperson of the District Police Office, Joshi’s funeral will be performed according to religious traditions with national honor. The Armed Police Force will offer a ceremonial salute in his respect.
Joshi was taken hostage during the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, amid the Israel–Hamas conflict. He had gone to Israel for study purposes.
His body was brought to Nepal from Israel only on Monday. The Nepal Army handed over his body to the family at Dhangadhi Airport with a guard of honor. The body arrived along with a delegation of three Israeli representatives, including Israel’s Ambassador to Nepal, Shmuel Arie Bass.
